If you received an error window stating that your file name is incorrect then you probably are having problems with the folder/file name length. There is a limit of 255 charactors for the path and file name combination.
For the desktop, if you have auto-arange on you should be able to move them, but upon refresh they will reauto-arange.
Files - Win 95 does not like to exceed 256 files in a single directory, and will slow down dramatically on file 257 (have seen 5+minutes to list all files). May also want to check properties of the folder, could be set to read only thus you can not write to it.
If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
